A Princess and Her Garden is a fable that reflects the stories of many women-and some men-who learn to put other people's needs before their own, until one day they come to realize they feel lost or unhappy because they have forgotten, or perhaps never learned, how to care for themselves. The telling of this story is more about the awakening and arrival of you, the reader, than it is about the journey of the Princess. The authors have wisely used their years of counseling and coaching experience to create a guided journal (The Queen of Yourself) that prompts you to reflect and answer thought provoking questions about your childhood, and what you learned about taking care of yourself and others. This unique journaling experience helps you cultivate a new life story in which you love both yourself and those closest to you. The perfect gift for people in transition, from new parents to the just-divorced, A Princess and Her Garden is also a welcome story for fresh graduates and newlyweds, and anyone (including yourself) who is learning how to take care of themselves and plant nourishing seeds. 2 CDs, 79 minutes NOTE: The guided journal is NOT a separate item. The journal is on the CD and is a spoken word guide.

2013 Quarter-Finalist - Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards (ABNA) Mystery and international intrigue weren’t part of the deal when teens Fred Rolson and Kary Bowman agreed to deliver a car full of much needed satellite and medical equipment to Fred’s missionary brother in Mexico. Crossing the Navajo Nation in Arizona, their car is stolen, a man is kidnaped and the boys are stranded in the middle of the desert. With their new friend, Susie Shepherd, the teens investigate only to find themselves held prisoner deep inside the black heart of Shuddering Mountain, still with unanswered questions: • Who is the mysterious stranger who warned the boys to stay out of Mexico? • Who is friend and who is foe? • What’s so important about a small piece of turquoise the kidnaped man was wearing? • And—most of all—who is the terrifying Coyote? A flashflood, an encounter with a wild puma, and a visit to a Navajo Sing are just part of this spellbinding adventure for readers young and old. * * * * * "In The Third Hand, Jim Cook crafts a suspenseful page-turner that engaged me from the first page. Before you start reading, set aside enough time to finish; the story is so gripping that you won't want to put it down." - Virginia Smith, author of Dangerous Impostor and Bullseye

This journal is over 200 PAGES... The writing prompts in the Color Journals were formulated to specifically create a sense of belonging, kinship and commonality. The Color Journals writing prompts are specific grounding techniques that quiets the mind and calms anxiety. The Color Journals utilize the five senses as self calming techniques to become present, manage stress and build confidence. Expression comes in many forms it is not always in words. Color can help describe what you may be feeling and can represent what's inside of you. When students are encouraged to utilize healthy outlets to express how they are feeling about situations in their lives, this essential tool of healthy self expression carries forward into adulthood and proves paramount in positively impacting the choices and direction of their adult lives. The earlier we get students to begin journaling the better their communication skills will be. This does not just impact how a student performs in the classroom but how they function in life. Allow this journal to provide a way of communicating through color-exploration.
